Master Chuck’s 2 vs. 1 Drill

The 2 vs. 1 drill is a phenomenal way to build ambidexterity that is emphasized in Modern Arnis.

I suspect that this drill has its antecedent in the old espada y daga methodology as there is some overlap between the two. I find that the 2 vs. 1 drill is a tremendous way of teaching both right and left hand techniques. This drill incorporates a number of techniques that can be practiced both with the right and left hand. Translations to single stick techniques is easy.

For example, if you are practicing a right hand dominant technique, the left stick can be used for hitting, blocking or any number of techniques. Translated to single stick, the left hand becomes the check hand.
